LILY'S VENTURE.
An Enterprise Which Proved En-
tircly Satisfactory.

Our heroine was somewhat inappro-
priatcly named, though she might be
classed in the rose-spotted Japan lily
order, by which may DO inferred that
she was far from being pale ethereal
flower
At the advanced age Of eighteen she
was beginning to feel quite grown mp;
and the fact perplexed her, particularly
as she failed to discover any means Of
broadening her existence, which
seemed to grow narrower as she grew
older Her education was limited TO
the advantages the village school sup
Piled, and she had read all the books
available, from "Pilgrim's Progress
to the lates, novel proourabe, and was
still signing for new worlds to conquer.
Possessed Of refined tastes, and the
usual youthful enthusiasm for every
thing pretty and interesting, she was
yet hedgcd in to narrow limits by the
very yeXing question of ways and
means. Her mother was widow, and
not over strong, whose limited income
just enabled her to keep up tho family
credit, as far as external appearance
went And Miss Lily's pretty dresses
were in nowise the least illustration of
her mothers tasteful ingenuity.
But mamma could render no assist
ancc in dcvising some source OF pecuni-
ary profit suitable for her daughter
while she remained under the home
roof, any thing that would take her
from her protection being an absurdity
not to be dreamed Of
My daughter will have TO wait until
her ship comes in, or till the fairy
prince arrives" mamma said. But she
heavcd secret sigh, nevertheless, and
aided; Don't be thinking, dear, OF
all the impossible things You would
like to possess, hut rather Of how much
you have to enjoy"
That was all very well, thought
Lily, "for old people and invalids, but
with youth and health there must be
something to expend her surplus ener-
gies on, which she would yet dis
cover.n
The March winds were carolling in a
boisterous and noisy fashion about the
house, making the cosy sitting-room
seem unusually cheerful.
Lily was scanning the weekly news;
grandpa, with look of calm content.
was contemplating the distant noun
tains, possibly trying to peer into the
still farther and SUMMER beyond, "
into which his many old-time friends
had vanished.

clsive audible commcnt: That's just

But Lily was not just then prepared

Shipping Wheat In Bulk.

Wheat is never shipped in bulk, but al
ways in bags, as when loaded in bulk it is
about the most dangerous cargo ship can
carry. No matter how lightly it may be
packed at first, it settles considerably
within short time, and then is very
liable to shift. When shifting takes place
a ship is as good as lost, as the change in
the center of gravity throws her on her
beam ends, and she is nearly certain to go
TO the bottom in the first moderate gale.
Many ships were lost in this way, and now
the shipment of grain in bulk is prohibited
by law.

Electric Angling.

Float-fshing, the old-fashioned country
sort Of angling, is now being reduced to a
hollow mockery by the aid Of electricity.
"An arrangement has been DEVISED" says
the Electrician, "by which a pull on the
line closes the circu1 Of tiny battery
carried in the base Of the rod, and this is
made to either sound an alarm or to gently
tickle the hand of the fisherman as he
grasps the butt. Nothing now hinders the
sportsman from going to sleep" Float
fishing is evidently the thing for the peo-
pie who like 70 carry big can Of "bait."

THE WORLDS OPINION,

Who needs the worlds opinion,
As worldly judgment goes'
,Tis based on little knowledge
And deals with outward shows;
lnfallible IL fain would be,
And limit human destiny.
II stones the secrs and prophcts,
And hunts the thinkers down;
II crucihes the saviors
And weaves the thorny crown;
Through all the past unfolding years
We trace its trail OF blood and tears.
On every thing progressive
The worlds opinion frowns,
And It pursuos its victims
with Prosecutions hounds;
And seldom is IL true and Just
Before their forms are turned TO dust
But whom great unfolding
Comes out 10 challenge oil,
Tho world is loud with praises
From lips OF great and small;
Its good opinion comes too late
To holp the good or serve the great.
The true and good have ever
Been forced to battle hard
At each advapcing footstep
Proclaimed by seer or bard,
Tho welcome plaudit OF "weli done."
Comes only when the battles won.
Whoever adds 10 knowledge
Or widens human thought
Must brave the worlds opinion
As something TO be fought
Must beat It's opposition down
Till victory secures the crown.
Perhaps some day the worldlings
win learn the good TO know.
When words will cease TO flourish
And useful things will grow,
When men will recognize the new,
And cease to war on what Is true.
Till then stand firm, ye leaders
In every righteous cause,
For surely you must conquer
Through Gods and Natures laws
And hasten on the joyous day
Which gives TO wisdom perfect sway.
Who heeds the worlds opinion
And not his sense OF right,
VIII grovel long In darkness
by shutting out the light;
Ignoring true humanity,
His soul stunted thing will be.
Why heed the worlds opiuioni
II can not change n fact,
Nor set aside n principle,
Nor modify an act;
II is as empty, foul or fair,
As bubbles bursting into air.
No man Of progress falters,
But seeks the light within,
Which comes from fields immortal
Where is no blight OF sin;
Such never from their course will fy,
Though all the world cry: "Crucifyw
Mankind lack moral courage,
And fear TO try the new.
In sin prefer 10 grovel
Than untried paths pursue;
And hence the better new they spurn,
TIL sins false fruits 10 ashes turn.
Men have no faith in progress;
. They can not understand
Why institutions hoary
should fall by its command;
They shut their eyes and will not see
The light OF truth that maketh free.
Who waits the worlds opinion,
And seeks for its applause,
Grows not beyond Its stature,
Gives help to no new cause
Is ever deaf to ell appeals,
A clog upon progression's vheelA
Pursue your own convictions,
The way the tried hove trod;
BE truthful, sincere, honest,
And leave the rect TO God;
The true alone can baffie sin.
The brave alone can hope TO win.
